Chapter 106: Six-Winged Sand Worm

  Third update!

  ——

  On the vast and empty land, thick rocks and soil stretched endlessly. Before heaven and earth, a hazy yellowish-brown color filled the air. Chen Xi trod on the ground, feeling the heavy sensation transmitted from beneath his feet, and his heart skipped a beat at the intense aura of the heavy soil.

  Is this the first trial of Tianfeng? Chen Xiao's eyes swept around, and suddenly a faint, old voice echoed in his ears.

  "The border of the barren land!"

  "Hold out for three hours under the siege of the six-winged sand worms!"

  "The more six-winged sand worms you kill, the more benefits you get!"

  "Those who cultivate the 'Heavenly Star Slaying Body Technique' will, if they can use their earth-shattering power to slay 9,900 six-winged sand worms, obtain my divine ability - the Starry Sky Great Hand Seal!"

  Mahamudra?

  Chen Xuan's heart was racing, the Divine Demon Cultivation flowed, after cultivating the Witch Power, he could cultivate various terrifying divine abilities, control all things, and possess boundless power, such as Fa Tian Xiang Di, Palm Mountain Range, and Luli Golden Body, all of which were renowned great divine abilities!

  Unlike the Qi Practitioners who wield magical artifacts in battle, the Divine Demon Cultivators of the Refining Body Flow temper their physical bodies and cultivate divine abilities. With a mere flick of the wrist or a stomp of the foot, they can move mountains and boil seas, pluck stars from the sky and seize the sun. This is what is meant by "divine abilities that know no bounds".

  "The last sentence of that voice just now was obviously said to me, and yes, I have cultivated the 'Zhou Tian Xing Lie Jian Ti Zhi Shu', which is equivalent to having the qualifications to inherit the mantle of Fuxi's predecessor. Unlike other cultivators who mistakenly entered the cave mansion, I will only be knocked down in this first trial ground of Tianfeng, and do not have to worry about losing my life..."

  Chen Xiao's mind quickly thought through all the information he had obtained from Ji Yu, "Since that's the case, I'll take a gamble and not care how formidable those six-winged sand worms are. At the very least, I must fight to the end, fight until I'm exhausted, and definitely obtain the Stardust Great Hand Imprint Divine Ability!"

  Swish! Swish! Swish!

  Eight dark flying swords floated in the air around Chen Xiao's body, moving up and down, "I now know nothing about the six-winged sandworms, first use swordsmanship to kill them, understand their weaknesses, and then use witchcraft..."

  Bang bang bang......

  Just as Chen was lost in thought, a dense and intense sound of footsteps suddenly echoed from afar, like the rumbling of thunder, as if an army of thousands was approaching, shaking the earth, and sending up a rolling yellow mist that rose to a height of nearly a hundred feet.

  "What's this?" Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

  Only in the rolling dust and mist, a huge monster emerged like a flood, like a tiger but not a tiger, like a leopard but not a leopard, as big as an elephant, with a tawny yellow body, blood-red eyes like lanterns, revealing fierce light, with six wings on its back, four limbs with giant pillar-like hooves moving wildly, fast as thunder, footsteps making the earth shake and tremble, emitting a terrifying aura that filled the sky.

  Almost instantly, footsteps sounded from all sides, like a tidal wave rolling in, with an overwhelming momentum.

  "Is this the Six-Winged Sand Worm?" Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed, his heart unshaken, instead a surge of intense battle intent rose up within him.

  Whoosh!

  Chen Yao's display of the "Zhou Tian Xing Lie Body Technique" was like a whirlwind, arriving instantly at the summit of Bai Zhang Mountain several miles away. He faced the six-winged sand worms coming from all directions, being beaten and battered on the ground, with no chance of survival.

  "Roar! Roar! Roar!"

  Hundreds of six-winged sand worms opened their bloody mouths and roared, trampling the rocks, rumbling towards Chen Tai with a loud noise. Their bodies were huge, but their speed was surprisingly fast, and in just one blink of an eye, they had already charged to Chen Tai's front.

  "Die!"

  Chen Xiao's body floated away, transforming into a wisp of wind that vanished without a trace. Eight dark, mysterious flying swords enveloped his body on all sides as he charged head-on into the swarm of six-winged sand worms.

  The eight handles of the Xuanming flying sword were all top-grade Huangjie artifacts, extremely sharp, and contained the swift wind of the Dao intent realm. The power was terrifying beyond compare. The three-headed six-winged sandworm that was first to bear the brunt didn't even have time to react before being chopped into pieces by the eight Xuanming flying swords, its limbs and flesh scattered all over the ground.

  Hah! Hah! Hah!

  The sword light was agile and swift, suddenly appearing and disappearing, wrapping around Chen Xuan's body. It was like a storm composed of thousands of sharp knives, moving horizontally and vertically, charging forward with a loud shout. Wherever it passed, the sound of wailing and screaming rose and fell, severed limbs and debris flew through the air, and the scene was extremely bloody.

  "Kill!"

  Chen Xiao's chest and abdomen were filled with a surging intent to kill, his swordsmanship becoming increasingly sharp and swift. Unbeknownst to him, the true essence of the sword he had observed on the Sword Tomb Stele began to emerge in his mind. As he fought, his swordplay grew more refined, imbued with an aura of quiet annihilation that left his opponents shattered and destroyed.

  "The master of the Ling White is indeed formidable, and just by engraving the two words 'Sword Tomb' on the stone tablet, I can appreciate it endlessly after observing it. If I can grasp all the sword techniques of Jianmie Sword Dao, my swordsmanship will definitely be upgraded!"

  Hiss!

  Hundreds of six-winged sand worms slaughtered the empty space, but in the distance, even more six-winged sand worms surged forward, densely packed, like a tidal wave, and at a glance, it was impossible to see the end.

  "Kill!" Chen Quan didn't dare to think more, and rushed into the beast group, killing and observing carefully at the same time, wanting to find the weakness and vital point of the six-winged sandworm.

  Exerting magical power to kill 9,900 six-winged sand worms is almost an impossible task for Chen Tai. After all, he has just mastered his magical powers and the application of magic is still very awkward. Moreover, he hasn't even grasped a single divine ability yet. The only thing he can use in battle is the "Great Collapse Fist".

  What's more important is that without using true yuan, the Wind Escape Technique cannot be used, and the speed will be much slower. Under the attack of these six-winged sand worms all over the mountains and plains, losing speed would undoubtedly increase the pressure greatly.

  So, if you can grasp the weaknesses and vital points of the Six-Winged Sand Worms, it will make the battle much easier, and it's not impossible to annihilate 9,900 heads with witchcraft.

  "Huh?"

  Chen Xiao's heart sank, and he suddenly discovered that the six-winged sand worms that had surged up around him again had become much stronger, whether it was speed, strength, or physical hardness. What originally took one sword to chop into pieces now required two swords, three swords...

  After burning one stick of incense.

  In this expanse of tawny heaven and earth, Chen Tai had killed no less than several thousand six-winged sand worms. However, by now, he found it impossible to slaughter them as quickly and wantonly as before.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The sword light was sharp and fierce, under the siege of eight handles of Xuanming flying swords, it took only three breaths to kill one head of six-winged sand worm. These ferocious monsters seemed to have undergone a transformation, with skin membranes as hard as rocks, and their strength increased by more than tenfold. They launched a fierce attack, and the oppressive aura alone made people feel an abrupt increase in pressure.

  "Damn it! If these guys' power keeps growing like this, I won't be able to withstand it even without using magic!" Chen Yu's heart sank heavier and heavier in the midst of battle, yet until now, he still hadn't discovered the six-winged sand worm's fatal weakness.

  "I should have used my Wu Li to fight earlier, never mind, it's still not too late now." Chen Xiao gritted his teeth secretly, and his body rushed out quickly to a relatively sparse area, recalling his flying sword.

  Body like a bow!

  Fists like arrows!

  Chen Yao Yun turned his magic power into a fierce punch, which heavily smashed onto the body of the six-winged sand worm.

  Bang!

  A loud crash, and the six-winged sandworm's body, as big as an elephant, shattered into powder in an instant, just like a paper paste.

  "How formidable! With the might of the witch's power, the Great Collapse Fist is unleashed, its power is even more terrifying than the flying sword!" Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he no longer hesitated. His fists rained down like raindrops, transforming into countless fist shadows that annihilated everything in their path. The six-winged sand worms were instantly pulverized, disappearing without a trace, as if swept away by an unstoppable force.

  In just a few breaths, dozens of six-winged sand worms were crushed and disappeared.

  In this intense and thrilling battle, Chen Xiao's mastery of the Witchery technique became increasingly pure. The Witchery surged into his fists in a unique way, with each blow - whether it was a burst, strangle, chop, smash or crash - becoming more lethal while consuming less and less Witchery.

  Practice makes perfect!

  Any skill, once mastered, can be wielded with ease and precision, as if effortlessly plucked from thin air, appearing casual yet possessing terrifying potency.

  Chen Xiao had already grasped a complete Wind Path intent, merging the power of the Great Collapse Fist with his witchcraft. Its might was so strong that it could shatter an entry-level treasure with just one punch!

  However, as time passed, the six-winged sand worms that came from all directions became increasingly fierce, making Chen Xiao also feel overwhelmed and had to increase his attack intensity.

  Twenty thousand!

  Three thousand heads!

  Forty thousand!

  Gradually, the witch power between Chen's blood and flesh was faintly driven by a withering force, and the feeling of exhaustion grew stronger and stronger. His heart also became anxious for no reason. Because until now, there was still a long way to go from the target of 9,900 six-winged sand worms!

  Bang!

  Chen Yao's back was heavily slammed, and he instantly fell out seven or eight zhangs away. Before he even landed, he was surrounded by more than a dozen six-winged sand worms, their sharp claws leaving dozens of bloody scars on his body, a shocking sight to behold.

  These scars will heal in the blink of an eye, and his body has reached the Purple Mansion realm, where he can already regrow severed limbs. These minor injuries won't affect Chen Tai's actions at all, but continuing like this will also lead to greater and greater consumption of his magical powers.

  "Ah!"

  Another cup of tea's worth of time passed, and Chen Xiao suddenly let out a long howl towards the sky, his face filled with a crazed determination. The demonic energy between his flesh and skin had already been reduced to less than one-tenth, but he was still short over two thousand heads from achieving the Star-Grabbing Great Hand Seal divine ability. At this rate, even if he exhausted all his demonic energy, he would still be unable to complete his goal.

  A strong sense of resentment surged through his entire body, stimulating Chen Tai's whole body to feel hot, and his handsome face also twisted in a ferocious manner. "I must get the Star-Grabbing Handprint! The six bastards from the Su family are still blocking me outside, I can't hide like this anymore, it's suffocating!"

  Kill!

  No one can stop me from moving forward!

  Kill!

  I want to get stronger! I will fight until the end! I must achieve my goal!

  In the yellowish sky and earth, six-winged sand worms continued to die, and new ones were born, becoming more ferocious, with a more menacing and powerful aura.

  The surrounding six-winged sand worms swarmed around Chen Quan, one after another, and he was unable to dodge or move. His struggling force was getting weaker and weaker, but the fighting spirit in his eyes became more and more crazy and determined.

  He won't admit defeat.

  Let him give up now, no doubt he has given up his persistence and pursuit.

  In this dazed state, he felt that every inch of flesh and blood, every inch of muscle and bone, and every pore was screaming out for the power to become stronger, a yearning that came from deep within his soul.

  "Boom!"

  Chen Xiao only felt that his soul seemed to have escaped, floating in the vast empty space, looking down, and on the ground were endless waves of six-winged sand worms surging forward.

  On that vast land, wisps of hazy yellow gas drifted about, wafting and fluttering, now visible, now invisible, emitting a pure and thick aura.

  As I reached out to scoop them up, those yellowish gases churned as if stirred, more like a school of sharks that had caught the scent of blood, surging towards me from all sides.

  A thread, gathering into a strand, gathering into a stream...

  Splash!

  Chen Xiao suddenly woke up from this mysterious feeling, only to find that the pure and thick aura of the earth was crazily pouring into his body, nourishing his dry blood, flesh, bones, and skin like a spring.

  The withered magic power has also surged out, risen and climbed up. Like a withered tree encountering spring, it has regained its vitality!
